Cabin for ONE

We found a cabin for one in the Village. Washtub and Washboard and a hand pump.

Spanish Moss

I think the bed was for when the person was worn out from pumping water to scrub clothes, and to warm up when the hands were red and raw from scrubbing those clothes.
(note: DIRT floors? think no vacuuming or mopping)

and on that washtub was a Katydid, and I am thinking if Katy did the laundry using these tools, she would need that bed WITH a mattress Please.

A PERFECT and perfectly wonderful Katydid picture!!! I don't think I have ever seen one in a blog, much less in real life. Wow on the detail!!! No vacuuming on the floors, but bugs crawling up the bed, eek!

I remember going to my grandfather's house and having to use a water pump like this. Fortunately the house was a little larger than this cabin, and the floors weren't dirt. You got a wonderful picture of the katydid.

Wow! That is a rough way of life! With the dirt floors all I could think of was snakes! My grandma and I talk about what life was like when she was a kid. She was born in 1929. There's a lot to not miss and a lot to miss. :)
